Hi @veronac

Unfortunately, with a big dome (6 inches or worst 8 inches) you’re likely to have the camera wanting to tilt up.

You might have to do some DIY work to add weights at the bottom of the dome (some have drilled holes and added weights like these: https://www.amazon.fr/SMALLRIG-Counterweight-Contrepoids-Zhiyun-Stabilizer/dp/B07PDFQDF5).

This way you can make it more neutral for horizontal shooting (will still be imbalanced for verticals, but most of the time I expect you’ll shoot horizontally).

Care to share a photo of your rig, fully assembled with floats on arms?
